I'm of two minds on this topic of centralization.

On the one hand, I did post a reactionary hot take yesterday in response to the "pardon me, Cisco" ad that you posted [1]. I'm sorry for that; I should have kept that immediate reaction to myself. Still, I'm apprehensive about increasing the power of one of a handful of big players by routing my company's web traffic through Cloudflare, let alone running applications themselves on the Cloudflare platform, though Workers is certainly interesting technology. And I'm certainly not going to route all of my Internet traffic through Warp, or even use 1.1.1.1 for DNS.

But in the specific case of Turnstile, it is clearly now the least bad option. So I will be happy to use it when something like a CAPTCHA is needed.
